I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on this yet. Fire swept through prison, at least 300 dead... They couldn't find the keys to the cells (or the guards who had the keys).

I can't and not a death even a criminal deserves....

Sadly, the fire risk for the average house in Honduras is not much better. Windows have metal bars cemented over them from the outside, making escape nearly impossible.

As if life were not difficult enough in Honduras..... I am thinking of the families of these men...

Horrible to even contemplate.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Apparently, a bunch of the inmates weren't even convicted, still in jail waiting for trial.
